The old and insecure MD5 hashing function hasn’t been used to sign SSL/TLS server certificates in many years, but continues to be used in other parts of encrypted communications protocols, including ...

In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

If you thought MD5 was banished from HTTPS encryption, you’d be wrong. It turns out the fatally weak cryptographic hash function, along with its only slightly stronger SHA1 cousin, are still widely ...

SHA1, one of the Internet’s most crucial cryptographic algorithms, is so weak to a newly refined attack that it may be broken by real-world hackers in the next three months, an international team of ...

Oracle says that starting with April 18, 2017, Java (JRE) will treat all JAR files signed with the MD5 algorithm as unsigned, meaning they'll be considered insecure and blocked from running. Oracle ...

SHA-1 is one of the most prevalent forms of a secure hash algorithm used in the legal and security industry. Now that Professor Xiaoyun Wang and her associates in Tsinghua University and Shandong ...

Some of the projects that use MD5 as the default method for storing user passwords include WordPress, osCommerce, SuiteCRM, miniBB, SugarCRM, CMS Made Simple, MantisBT, Phorum, Observium, and X3cms.
